southwest has tickets Houston to Denver $45 one way now, I could skin up somewhere; still good snow; but even if I go; our governor is going to quarantine me for 14 days when I get back.
TGR forums cannot handle SkiCougar !

Well, by this time I guess this Covid19 / Chinese rat flu, or what ever you would like to call it, has affected not only mine but everybody else's skiing plans this season.
While I had planned on a March trip out to LCC, it never happened. And then I thought, 'well, maybe an early trip up to the rock pile in N.H.'. Nope. Never happened either. That shit just spread to fast!
I just hope we are still not discussing this in December.
Time to put this puppy to bed?
Seasons over. Let's remember the good times!

Too bad this didn't happen when we had no snow and barley made it to closing day. Here in Revy looks like the alpine just received another 50cm + with snow level just above the town. would have been top to bottom coverage until the end of April. But can't tour the resort and the national parks have shut so can't go there either.

Might be a good time to start charging folks for rescues. Might change at least some people's minds.And start paying SAR from the proceeds. The antion that invented credit default swaps should be able to figure out how to do that.

I can assure you that wbr here in the wasatch is as good as it gets in the states. But right now less than a tenth of the usual rescuers are still employed. Probably less. Jackson boys are probably more trained with ropes. But you’ll get no faster response time in the country compared with wbr. The point is don’t do anything where you might need them. And you can break your leg a quarter mile from the road on low angle. Like happened in bear trap. Obviously many in this forum are more than competent but mistakes happen and you don’t want to be that guy right now. Lots of whatboutism arguments. But the simple fact is by not going out you reduce the stress on the system. Lots of people taking this too lightly like out won’t affect them. I have friends in Italy and Spain. Talking to them, I can assure you we need to do whatever we can to slow this. Even of you think what you do isn’t a contributing factor I can assure you it is. Open your eyes. This is a really fucking big problem. Check your needs and ego for the greater good. Simple as that.
